The visualization of data embodies a visceral fundament for understanding, and constitutes a cardinal mechanism for modern communication of any measurement outcomes of research—despite typically being neglected (largely for technical reasons) in traditional statistics literature. There are limitless ways of realizing plots of data, and visualizing even the most basic distribution of points...

R has long been recognized for its statistical computing power, and Shiny has revolutionized how R users build interactive applications. However, deploying Shiny apps as standalone desktop software remains cumbersome - requiring a browser, a running R session, and often a server infrastructure. What if R could power true native desktop applications? ...

The rapid growth of sports analytics has enabled researchers to use data-driven techniques to understand performance patterns and predict outcomes in competitive sports. Cricket, particularly the Indian Premier League (IPL), generates a large amount of structured match data that can be analyzed to study team strategies, player performance, and match dynamics. This project focuses on analyzing...

Online dashboards use data visualizations to quickly convey information. Interactive elements like charts and data filters often display additional information not accessible by screen readers. Accessibility features improve the overall presentation and user experience by augmenting, amplifying, and enhancing the content so that users can interact with and understand the same content in...

Access to realistic public health data for training, pipeline validation, and methods development is constrained by privacy regulations that restrict use of real patient records. We present two complementary open-source R packages that address this problem at different points along the synthetic data design spectrum.

Generally, CRAN packages are expected to keep passing their tests, and their updates should not break other packages. Debugging the occasional failure of this process can lead the developer down a very deep rabbit hole: our dependency stacks are very deep, and none of the layers are completely bug-free.
We're going to see how problems from real CRAN packages could be investigated and solved...

Scaling public satisfaction surveys presents a significant challenge for government hubs managing hundreds of distinct services. National regulations of Indonesia (Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Regulation 14/2017) mandate measuring nine specific quality components—including staff behavior, requirements, and facilities—for every service provided. However, requiring citizens...

Ecological community data are inherently multivariate, and beta diversity is typically explored through unsupervised ordination (e.g., PCoA, NMDS). While these methods excel at revealing gradients of variance, they ignore a priori hypotheses about group structure. This talk introduces constrained ordination, specifically Canonical Analysis of Principal coordinates (CAP) and Linear Discriminant...

Understanding the behaviour of complex machine learning models has become a challenge in the modern day. Explainable AI (XAI) methods were introduced to provide insights into model predictions, however explaining these explanations can be difficult without proper visualisation methods. In addition, settling the disagreements between these explainers can be difficult based purely on numerical...

Missing data is a common challenge in data analysis, particularly in multi-omics studies, where heterogeneous data sources and technical limitations often result in incomplete measurements. In these situations, predictive models may fail when some required variables are missing.
This presentation demonstrates ensemble learning strategies designed to improve prediction despite incomplete...
